Where Will Your First Trip Of 2025 Be?

Who loves to start the new year planning your travel and trips you want to take?  We do!  The new year is a perfect time to grab that map, start searching Expedia for flights, and get on the Wag app to line up pet sitting.  We traveled to Puerto Vallarta last January and had a blast exploring Sayulita and Bucerias as well.  One of the staple items for any beach trip is a white button up shirt dress.  It can be worn as a swimsuit coverup, as a dress or even as a top with shorts.  I have had mine for years and many trips and I absolutely won't travel without it.  Another staple is a beach bag.  I think it's perfect to use our Clothes Minded tote bag as a carry on and then take it everywhere with you, to the beach, to town for shopping so you don't need bags for all the items you purchase.  This tote is the perfect size for all of your essentials and it's waterproof so you can set it on the sand and everything inside will stay dry.  Sunglasses are an essential as well as sunscreen and flip flops.  I love to pack my travel journal to document all the things we do, places we eat and my favorite shops, just in case someday we return.  A floppy hat is a must have but sometimes they can be difficult to travel with unless you plan to wear it on the plane to and from your destination.

Google is a valuable resource for finding information on all of the fun things you'll want to do and I've dedicated lots of time to writing reviews on Google about our experiences everywhere we go.  You can find me on Google Maps where I'm a local guide, I hope my reviews are helpful.

We love trip planning and have a couple planned already in January but enough about us, where are you planning your first trip in the New Year?  We know the places we love to go on repeat and the places on our bucket list.  Oprah even has a list of the best winter getaways which you can read by clicking here.  Safe travels!
